Driving Directions<br />

If you tap the ! button (lower-left corner), the Search bar turns into two<br />

Search bars: one labeled Start and the other End. Plug in two addresses and<br />

let Google Maps guide you from the first to the second.<br />

The <strong>iPhone</strong> doesn’t have a GPS receiver, so it doesn’t actually know where you<br />

are. It’s not one of those boxes you put on your dashboard where the nice<br />

robot lady says, “In three-tenths of a mile, turn right onto I-95.”But as you’ll see<br />

in a moment, it’s a pretty good fake version of that.<br />

Begin by filling in the Start and End boxes. You can use any of the address<br />

shortcuts described on page 178, or you can tap the } button to specify a<br />

bookmark, a recent search, or a name in Contacts. (Or, after performing any<br />

search that produces a pushpin, you can tap the O button in the pushpin’s<br />

label bubble, and then tap Directions To Here or Direction From Here on the<br />

details screen.)<br />

Then tap Route. In just a moment, Maps displays an overview of the route<br />

you’re about to drive. At the top of the screen, you see the total distance and<br />

the amount of time it’ll take (if you stay within the speed limit).<br />
